Borussia Dortmund vs Koln: A win for the Black and Yellows in a productive match?

Borussia Dortmund face Koln in the main game of the 10th round of the German Bundesliga. The BVB are the favourites. But Borussia have many injured players, and Koln are capable of a lot at the moment with a new head coach.

After the humiliating defeat by Ajax, Borussia Dortmund played two games in two domestic competitions, beating Arminia away and Ingolstadt at home in the German Cup. Borussia are sitting second in the German league table, one point behind Bayern Munich, the league leader. It should also be noted that Borussia have the second-highest scoring side in the division after Bayern. Nevertheless, it is probable that Borussia’s top scorer of the current season, Haaland, will not play in the upcoming game.

After losing to Hoffenheim, Koln played two games in the domestic league, just like Borussia Dortmund. They drew 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen in the German championship, although they were beaten 0-2 by their arch-rivals in the game’s closing stages. In the German Cup, Koln were stronger than Stuttgart. It was even somewhat unexpected that the visitors beat their opponent, and so confidently as well. Just before this round, Koln sit in eighth place in the German league table with 13 points, only one point less than Eurocup side Leipzig. Koln have the 16th away record in the division, +0=2-2, 4:10 goal difference.

Borussia Dortmund’s convincing win over Ingolstadt in the German Cup proves that the BVB are in a good frame of mind. Koln are a strong opponent, capable of scoring against Borussia. But it is unlikely that they can take points away from the Black and Yellows at the Signal Iduna Park. We believe that the upcoming game will be very productive, and we believe the Bumblebees will win.
